I had the opportunity to be on campus this weekend for four hours on Saturday to help check in students/families who were coming back to move out of their residence halls. Though families who moved out during the week last week had cold rain, Saturday was a beautiful sunny day, muggy even. Many thanks to all our students and families who were wearing their cloth face coverings and practiced social distancing.

I took this picture of the view from the University Parkway entrance of campus looking towards the Quad. Later that night when I was still on campus, there was a great rainstorm, but a rainbow came out after it. I had been away from campus for so long, and it felt really great to be back there. The rainbow was the cherry on top of the sundae.

Wanted to make you aware that the call center is operating on a reduced schedule, only during times of major University communications. The next communication is set to go out on 5/28 (which will go to parents and families of undergraduate students about refunds of additional fees) and then 6/1 (which goes out to undergraduate students about their specific refund as applicable). The Call Center will accordingly be open 5/28 and 5/29 and 6/1-4 from 10 am-2 pm Eastern at (336) 758-7500. We anticipate reopening the call center following the June 30th update. When the call center is not operating, use our online form for questions.

Stay safe and well, Deac families!
